Hey so anyone on this shipment care to share their order # and if theirs shipped out? I don't mind waiting but I'm trying to plan a day of shooting on my property by perry sound. Just trying to figure out what weekend I should book off......im mid 9200's.... like I said I could care less when it arrives but I'm a hospital worker and trying to get days off right now is like trying to get blood from a stone. In other words its next to bloody impossible.

Will there be more shipments in the future of Type 81's?

Upthread somewhere, TI said they hoped to bring in some regular rifles later in the year, though nothing is certain given the "interesting" times we live in.

how long is shipping?

Look into your crystal ball. They are still using Canada Post and even have to drop the boxes off by themselves at the Post Office. Not sure why they are not using UPS which is at least twice as fast, cheaper and offers parcel pickup at the business. I guess they like torture.

ETA on drum retrofit instructions?

If you simply can't wait for TI's. Gnutzguy on YouTube has a video out. Its pretty easy though, dremmel the weld bead on either side of the wing nut, remove wing nut depress button on front of drum and take out internals. Drill a hole by the first locking bracket where the removable rear of the drum connects to the main body, about an inch away from the top of the mag, rivet it and install the new wheel. The video is very straight forward. My description is very crude compared to the video.

Yes good video!

I would add that I think his measurements are off when he says pin at about 26mm from the tower... I just measured the Romanian drum that I received pinned to 5.5 rounds and it is 31mm from the tower as measured below... this is from the tower to the center of the 5/32 inch rivet... maybe do 30mm to be safe. If pinned to 26mm from the tower my particular drum wouldn’t even fit 5 rounds. It is possible the TI drum dimensions are different, best to measure and figure this out for yourself before drilling any holes.

Its because you took your mesurement from the base of the tower, and in the video he took it from the base OF THE PLATE of the tower.....

Fine but still off... to the base OF THE PLATE of the tower is 22mm so the “26mm” would leave you with 6 rounds!

My point is do NOT trust that measurement and make sure you measure YOUR distance as the measurements given may be wrong!
